Quote of the Day

George: Okay, I'll be Cristina for you, if you'll be Izzie for me.
Meredith: Deal. (George stops the elevator) Derek had a woman in his trailer last night. She was ugly, very ugly, except she was tall and beautiful. And he was naked.
George: Oh. McDreamy was doing the McNasty with a McHottie? That McBastard. (pauses) Er, how was that?
Meredith: That was good.
George: Cristina enough? (Meredith nods) Really?
Meredith: Yeah.
George: Yeah?
Meredith: Yeah.
George: Excellent.
Meredith: Channeling Izzie. Go.
George: Okay, Callie... she won't forgive me. Er, she won't talk to me. She dumped me. Which is uh… I don't care about, you know, at all...
Meredith: Good because you deserve better. You do. You are George. I mean seriously. Seriously. Seriously. Was that Izzie optimistic?
George(stunned): Yes, it's very Izzie. (sighs)

Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

Brooke sat at the edge of Lucas's bed watching him get dressed. He stood in his closet with just his jeans on. His chest was completely bare and she wanted nothing more than to rush over to him and…..

Lucas noticed that she was looking at him. "You checking me out?" Lucas asked with a smirk.

Rolling her eyes she threw herself back onto his bed. "In your dreams Broody." Even though she was checking him out she wasn't about to let him know it.

"If that's your story," Lucas said with a slight chuckle. Pulling two shirts out of his closet and holding them out for her to see. "Which one?"

Sitting up with the meanest face she could muster she finally spoke. "I'm not helping you pick out what shirt to wear for your date with another girl."

"So the black one," Lucas said ignoring her jealousy. He was loving this, every single minute.

He watched her struggle with herself over the situation. He knew that she didn't want him to go, and yet she couldn't bring herself to tell him.

It's all he needed to hear really, because if she did then that meant that she was serious about them and well that's what he wanted all along. Putting on the shirt he watched as she stormed out of his room down the hall.

Busting into Nathan's room she threw herself on the bed.

"What's wrong Tigger?" Haley asked looking up. She was sitting in between Nathan's legs as they played NBA Live.

"Lucas's is a big jerk," Brooke said.

"You want me to kick his ass?" Nathan asked.

"Yes!"

"Hey no one's kicking anyone's ass," Haley said before placing a kiss on Nathan's cheek.

"Please keep the pda to a minimum," Brooke said. Haley and Nathan both started laughing.

"Just tell him you don't want him seeing anyone else," Haley said.

"I can't!"

"Oh just tell him you love him and get it over with," Nathan said looking back at her.

"Just because it worked out of you two doesn't mean that it will for us," Brooke said with a pout.

"Tigger you love him," Haley said. "And we all know that he loves you so what's the big deal?"

"I don't know," Brooke said storming out of the room. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Of course she wanted to be with Lucas, but a part of her was afraid to be with him. Walking back into his room and standing at the door she watched him put on his shoes.

"Can I help you with something Pretty girl?" Lucas asked looking up.

"I just wanted to tell you to have a good time tonight," Brooke said smiling. Inside she was screaming at herself to tell him not to go as he got up and walked towards her but she just couldn't say the words.

Lucas walked right up to her and kissed her forehead. "I'm the guy for you. I know we're just part time and that's cool, do whatever, have your fun. But one of these nights you're going to realize it...I'm the guy for you Brooke Davis. You'll see." And with that he walked out his room leaving her standing there.

"Damn Luke, nobody told me to dress up for this thing," Skills said taking a seat around the poker table.

"He's trying to make Brooke jealous," Mouth said passing out the cards.

"By playing poker with us," Skills said looking around. "Am I missing something?"

"Yeah your brain," Junk said as everyone started to laugh.

"He told Brooke that he had a date tonight," Mouth said picking up his cards.

Shaking his head Lucas finally had enough of these guys talking about him. "Guys can we just play some poker."

"If be play you mean me kick your ass again, then yeah sure we can play," Fergie said throwing down his full house. Everyone threw their hands down as Fergie pulled all the chips he won towards him.

"You gotta love poker night," Junk said.

"Well for the past five weeks this dumb ass has been winning," Skills said looking at Fergie.

"Ya'll can't mess with the master," Fergie said.

"Who is this guy?" Lucas said.

"I guess Fergie forgot to mention that his uncle is a poker legend," Junk said looking around. "Taught Fergie everything that he knows."

"Why is this just coming up?" Mouth asked.

"No one ever asked," Fergie said smiling.

"Whatever," Skills said. "So Luke you ready for the big game?"

"Hell yeah," Lucas said smiling. "One more win and then state."

"All I have to say is Skills is bringing it," Skills said slapping hands with Junk.

"Yeah well you better because Pontiac is a hell of a team," Lucas said.

"They got nothing on us," Skills said smiling. "Shit me, you, Nathan, and Jake could beat their asses."

"We'll see at the game," Mouth said.

"Finally," Lucas said placing down his royal flush and pulling all the chips towards him.

"I was in need of some competition," Fergie said making everyone laugh.

-xoxo-

"What are you doing tomorrow night?" Nathan asked throwing down his controller.

"I don't know hotshot," Haley said tossing hers aside too. "What am I doing?"

"I was thinking that we could go on our first official date," Nathan said as she laid her head against his chest.

"Me kicking your ass in NBA Live isn't considered a date," Haley joked.

"Hales you know what I mean," Nathan said.

"We've been together of three weeks and your just now talking about a first date?" Haley said teasingly.

"Can I take your smart ass out or not?" Nathan said tickling her sides. Pushing herself away from him, he followed her not stopping.

"Nathan…..please…..stop!"

"Not until you agree to go out with me," Nathan said.

"Ok….ok I'll go out with you," Haley yelled. He stopped tickling her as he laid himself above her body.

"Only if you want to," Nathan said kissing her nose.

"Oh I want too," Haley said bringing her lips to his and kissing him. "Nathan, what about Jake?"

"It would be cool if you didn't say your brother's name while I'm kissing you," Nathan said playfully.

"We have to tell him," Haley said. "I hate sneaking around. This thing between us won't be real if we don't tell him."

"I know," Nathan said sitting up.

"I think that I should tell him," Haley said.

"No, I can't let you do that," Nathan said. "This is my problem; he's going to be mad at me not you."

"Nathan…."

"I need to tell him Hales," Nathan said. "He's my bestfriend."

"I know," Haley said. "When are you going to tell him?"

"After the game," Nathan said. "I don't want his game to be off."

"I agree," Haley said.

"I'll tell him," Nathan said nodding his head.

"Nathan if he's not okay with us…."

"I know then we can't be together," Nathan said. "I get it Hales." Putting his head down he tired to think of what he would say, but he couldn't find the words.

"I love you," Haley said moving closer to him. "No matter what, I'll always love you."

"I love you too," Nathan said kissing her softly.

He knew it was her way of saying that Jake probably won't be okay with them but he chose to ignore it. He put of telling Jake for the last three weeks because he knew the time would come when he would have to tell him and it still wasn't something that he was ready for.

He wasn't ready to let her go, and he knew that he most likely would have too, because she was right if Jake wasn't okay with them, that was it. They were over before they even began.
